Part 1 Specification
[3] Parameter
Every time an instance is created, actual I/O memory addresses (or constants) must be set for data exchange with
input/output variables. These set addresses (or constants) are called parameters.
z What is exchanged between the parameters and function block is the data of the size specified by the variable data
type. Take note that the parameter (address) information itself cannot be exchanged.
z The I/O memory addresses that can be used as parameters are limited to CIO (channel I/Os), A (special auxiliary
relays), D (data memory), E (extended data memory), H (holding relays) and W (internal auxiliary relays).
